Hi, i'm wondering if 1% hydrocortisone cream is safe to use on the penis shaft skin? ive had dry itchy skin on the front of the shaft for months.

1% HC: Hi~ yes its the mildest of cortisone creams and you can use it quite liberally. Not for 20 years though. For a reasonable period, 4-6 months or so. Thanks
